Well well, the new generation Mahindra Scorpio is finally here! The all new mighty muscular, fierce-looking beast has been launched here in Mumbai yesterday and bookings have started pan-India at Mahindra dealerships.

Here is all that you need to know about the new-gen Scorpio, before you decide to buy it:

1. What’s new??
This time around, it is not simply a facelift, it is a new generation. The new Scorpio is based on a completely new platform along with a fresh transmission, better suspension and a new anti-roll technology. This all adds up to improved performance and handling. It certainly is a great improvement over the previous one, and a major improvement over the first Scorpio that was launched in 2002 (12 years and still going strong!).

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) – It prevents skidding and keeps the vehicle steerable and in control during sudden braking, hence avoiding accidents.

Crash protection crumple zones absorb most of the impact in case of a collision. The rigid steel bars in the doors reduce impact from the sides.

Collapsible Steering Column – In case of a frontal collision the steering column collapses to reduce injury to the driver.

Engine Immobilizer – This is an encrypted key recognition system that keeps your New Generation Scorpio safe. If any other key is used to start the vehicle, the ECU rejects it right away. This immobilizer system is certified by the globally renowned M/S Thatcham.

New Panic Brake Indication – This provides a hazard warning during sudden deceleration while vehicle speed is over 100kmph.

New Auto Door Look while driving – once the vehicle speed crosses 20kmph.

New Anti-Theft Warning – A warning is provided through a siren upon unauthorized entry.

Anti-Pinch Smart Window – This smart window on the driver’s side detects obstructions during window roll-up and automatically rolls down the glass.

3. Also:

New Height Adjuster on driver’s seat – allows the driver to adjust the seat height as per his convenience.

New Hydraulic-assisted Bonnet – helps you lift the bonnet without any effort whatsoever.

Headlamps with Follow me home & lead me to the vehiclefeature – The headlamps remain ON for some time after locking/unlocking the vehicle. This illuminates the path for walking conveniently up to your home or to your New Generation Scorpio. (This is kinda cool, and useful in certain cases!)
